that the same power that controls

try. 1t means that it is the pol
icy Of the dominant class in this
country, the money class, to use
their police, their militia, their
Pinkerton detectives and the
United States Army to overawe
and coerce, to bludgeon and bully
the people who are becoming dis
satisfied with present unjust and
iniquitous modes Of exploitation
by which the sharpers and specu-
lators, the drones and parasites of
our present civilization are ena-
bled to reap the benefit of the toll
and labor, the sweat and slavery
Of those who build up our country
and make it great, grand, glorious
and rich in all that can come from
human labor and intelligent
thought. If the day has arrived
when the police and military of
this country are given license to
attack the common people in the
same manner as the police and
military Of the monarchical coun-
tries of Europe, then ask where
in lies the difference inthe system

police then where ! repeat is the

The Labor enquirer., 1887-10-29

explains Bonfeld's conduct in at
tacking the Haymarket meeting.
He evidently thought he then had
them away from their women and
children.
Many of the jurors admitted
that they were prejudiced
against Socialists and anarch-
lists and said that it would take
evidence to remove such preju-
.dices. Still Judge Gary over
ruled the prisoners challenges,
after the jurors saying that not
withstanding such feelings they
could render a fair verdict on the
evidence. They lied when they
said SO and Judge Gary knew it.
The constitution of Illinois gave
the defendants a right to a trial
before an impartial jury. The
constitution of the state further
provides that people have the
right to assemble peaceably for
the common good. This is the
paramount law, and no policemen
or law and order bandits had any
right to disregard it and break up
the meeting. Still the supreme
court says that if the police acted
illegally the workingmen's reme-
dy was by suit for damages. What
rot! Suppose that a policeman
burglarizes your house, must you
in accordance with the courts de-
cision allow him to do as he
pleases in your dwelling and wait
to bring suit which might drag
along for years. Then you would
be suing a beggar and catching
louse.
Again it will be observed that
the court gave undue prominence
to detectives testimony, which
every principle of justice would
require should bereceived with the
utmost caution.
Some will say how dare you be
so presumptious as to criticise the
decision of our honorable courts7
Readers, do you bear in mind the
decision of the United States su-
preme court in the Dred Scott
case, how that was regarded at
the time by all liberty-loving peo-
pie, and finally overturnedl His
tory is repeating itself before our
very eyes.
The supreme court of the
United States if it does justice will
decide that under the fourteenth
amendment the defendants did
not have a fair trial under the
laws of Illinois and will reverse
the supreme court decision of that
state. This is plainly federal
question sufficient to give the
highest court in the land jurisdic-
ton, and calls for an interpreta-
tion of the phase due process of
law" under this amendment.

first witness called on the part of
the defense. He testified as fol-
lows in relation to the meeting at
the Haymarket:
did you attend the Haymarket
meeting on Desplaines street, on
the seventh of May last?"
"A part of it, not the whole.
During May 4, probably about
noon, information came to me of
the issuance of a circular of a very
peculiar character, and call for
meeting at the Haymarket that
night. called the chief of police
and directed him that if anything
should be said at that meeting as
was likely to call out a recurrence
